Will Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald be suspended after hitting a Cincinnati Bengals player in the head with a helmet on Thursday afternoon?
Maybe wait a few years ago there was a joint practice between the contestants in the Super Bowl last February.
The approach could spark tensions between the champion Los Angeles Rams and the runners-up Cincinnati Bengals, which erupted Thursday with a fight. The result was a scrimmage that included All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald swinging a Bengals helmet at opposing players and apparently hitting him.
Of course, a big question in the row is whether Donald should and will be suspended. The incident was similar to Week 11 of the 2019 season, when Cleveland Browns charge Miles Garrett hit Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rue with his helmet in the final minutes of the game Dolph’s Head Thursday Night Football
Contest.
Will Aaron Donald be suspended for swinging his helmet at another player?
However, between what happened to Donald and what happened There are some differences with Garrett.
First, Garrett hits a player who is not wearing a helmet. It also happens in regular-season and prime-time games. The entire football world is watching the ugly unfold.
In Donald’s case, the fight happened during practice, which is where the NFL doesn’t normally take place in sanctioned player fights. Also, player Donald appears to be hitting it with a helmet on, so thankfully, no injuries. In the end, while the video would circulate for days, the violence did not take place on state television. From the point of view of the league office, this will be considered fair or not.
While Donald may be suspended, the guess here is that he walked away and it was his turn to speak.
